Windows 10 update downloads slow and installation unsuccessful

[PF3]

The last three downloads of Win 10 updates were very slow, like > 6 hours, and then the installation is unsuccessful due to a problem, error code Ox800705b4. Can anyone enlighten me please? Thanks.

For reason unknown the gremlins must have got in when I turned my back because all updates had been installed while I was doing something else, but thanks anyway.
